We sell them in GA. easy to transport. Just keep them cool. Best to staock before April. You might place a bag of ice in the trunk then place trash bag between them and crawfish and wrap them all in tarp. Most important is to not let them catch wind if in back of truck. They come in bags of 35-50 lbs.
The best way to keep them alive (though this may not be as feasable with larger quantities) is to put a bag or two of ice in an ice chest, then use a couple of wooden slats, then put the bags of crawfish on top of the wood. The key thing is to keep the crawfish cool and moist but do NOT let them get wet. This keeps them inactive and prevents them from killing each other trying to get out of the sack.
On a slightly related note, you can always spot a fellow coonass in front of a pile of bright red boiled crawfish by saying, "Don't eat the dead ones." If he doesn't look perplexed, he's a coonass.
